What is the distance around a track?
Most tracks these days are 400 meters, just short of a quarter of a mile. Some old or legacy measured tracks remain the Imperial distance of 440 yards (a quarter of a mile) and some tracks are constructed at other distances to fit into available space.
The way to tell if you are on a 400 meter track or something else is to look at how the start lines in other lanes are positioned. Because all levels of the sport now use metric measured tracks, if they are evenly staggered from the common finish line, you are on a 400 meter track (or proportionately half sized 200 meter indoor track). If the staggered start lines are not marked at the same place a race would finish, your distance to the finish line is the difference between the start line in lane one and the common finish. If that distance is a little over 8 feet (2.33m) in front of that common finish line, then you are on an imperial (measured in yards) track.
What would a time of 11 seconds in a 100 meter dash convert to in a 100 yard dash?
11.99 seconds because 100 yard dash is 91 meters.
100 meters/91 meters = 1.09
Then do 11 seconds x 1.09 = 11.99 seconds.
If you round it, you basically be getting a 12 second 100 meter dash.

In which country did Terry Fox stop his run?
Terry Fox stopped running in the same country he began in - Canada.
The length of a 400-meter track is actually measured along a "measuring line" that is located in lane 1. The measuring line is exactly 400 meters. The actual location of the measuring is based upon whether there is a raised curb on the inside of track, or not. Go to NCAA.ORG for the specific measurement to the lane. It's approxiamtely 30 from the outside edge of the interior lane 1 line (which is 2-inches wide) for raised curbs, and approximately 20 cm from the outside edge of the interior lane 1 line for no curbs at all.

What is the difference between track shoes and high jump shoes?
Well, I don't have experience with these specific types of shoes, but I do have several years of working in retail shoe stores, so will take an educated guess on this one. Most likely, track shoes are geared towards running, so will be slightly curved to aid in the running motion, will have soles that grip the ground, and will have cushioning mainly in the heels to absorb the shock of running. High jump shoes are probably more flexible to accommodate the motion of jumping, and probably have cushioning at the ball of the feet, to absorb shock upon landing, which most likely occurs at the ball of the foot.

Can you use Track spikes on cement?
Its a bad idea. You wouldn't be any faster then with normal shoes the spikes are to small to get grip. Just designed to penitrate rubbery track surface with little effect. Use on grass could break the spikes. Trust me just use cleats.
There are special spike shoes used for grass that javelin throwers use. The spikes can be as long as 1". They are designed to grip the slippery surface of grass/mud. However, they are not designed for the 100m dash.
How many miles is the Boston Marathon?
26.2 miles; all marathons are.
The reason is that the distance from the Plains of Marathon, the site of the battle in Greece, was 26.2 miles from downtown Athens. The Athenian citizens were preparing to evacuate the city via their navy. The Athenian army was trying to hold off the invading Persians. When the Athenians were victorious, the general dispatched a messenger named Pheidippides, who ran to the city, announced the victory, and died on the spot.

What is the average time for the 120 yard dash?
It completely depends on the gender of the runner and the age. If you are a female 14 year old I would expect you to get around the 14.5 seconds mark but if you are a 14 year old male the average would be about 13.2 seconds although many good runners at the age of 14 (such as my self) can reach the 9.8 second mark on a good day and with a bit of training. BUT REMEMBER don't worry about your time just worry about beating the people that you are running against and most importantly just have fun!!
